With one defection, House Democrats on Wednesday rejected the concept that only American citizens should vote in American elections.
In a 218-213 vote, The House passed an updated version of the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility Act initially proposed by Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas. The House passed the bill last year, but it withered on the vine in the Senate.
Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas was the only Democrat to break ranks and support the bill, according toFox News.
The bill requires proof of citizenship when Americans register to vote, requires states to maintain voter rolls so that only eligible voters can cast ballots, and requires a photo ID to vote in federal elections.
The bill would also expose illegal immigrants on voter rolls to being investigated by the Department of Homeland Security.
House Minority Whip Rep. Katherine Clark of Massachusetts framed the bill as a way to weed out female voters who changed their name after marriage, making it different form the one on a birth certificate.
Dems’ racist “blacks too poor for ID” lie crashed and burned, so now they’re whining that SAVE Act will hurt married women who took their husband’s name.
Are Dems evil, hateful, and hypocrites?
